The best blogs, the best words always began in my bed. When I lay there the words flow through my head and find their way in different sentence. But it tooks at least 40 minutes to put on my laptop and when I'm allready in my bed, I think the new born words aren't worthy enough for so much acts if you have to sleep. But I have a new way to remember this bed-made blogs. I have a pen and paper in my reach and when the words come, I just grip the paper and write it down in an old school way, with only a little light on. This are the words I wrote down yesterday: best blogs starts in bed, 30 minutes, old school paper, main words, old pictures, wish, born earlier, children of my children, frustration, flowerpower, careless, lovely, freedom and peaceful life. And here it is, the blog.
Sometimes, when everybody hurry through their lifes and when there are people really everywhere, I can wish a truely wish that I wanted to be born earlier. And then I think in the '60 or something there. Why? Because of the words which are above. I love the old school pictures of young men who are hanging in the park. I love the pictures with the vintage dresses and the big sunglasses, smiling people with two fingers in front of the camera. I love the way how they live, the more careless life. And there are two frustration - I think more - that I have, one of them is materialism, the technology which always wants more and bigger. I hate it to have the best mobile phone, or the most high tech computer. I can savour a simply mp3-player, which is really ugly (in the eyes of so much people) but I'm wondered everytime I listen to music, that there is music in my ears. I love my ugly simply mobile phone, because there is a radio on it, luxery in my eyes. I only have to call people and send short message, that's everything. So, that was frustration one. The second is the must to perform. You won't become anything if you won't act like the whole society does. You have to study, earn money and get more and more out of yourself. I won't say that it is important to develop your talents, but the must in all of this I totally hate. I would love to have some days in a shed on the heath, with friends, a guitar and a bible. Just the words I wrote down earlier: freedom, love, careless and peacefull. A few sunstreams and my whole day will be a good one. But that's almost impossible, and if it's able a lot of the people won't understand. But that's my vision. There is just one word (sorry if I forgot one) which I didn't use untill now. Flowerpower! Oh, I love that! You know the cars full with flowers and the dresses, the flowers everywhere. I can't describe it really well, but I think everybody will understand what I mean. I forgot something, but I need it right now in my conclusion. It's off course always the easy way to say: I wish I was born earlier. I know that the children of my children will say: I wish I live in the period that my grandmom lived. I don't know why it always looks better 50th years ago, but I know that it is a fact. But there isn't a timemachine, so I think I just have to accept this life, with the enormous opportunities I have as a woman in this period of time. Beside that I think I will always have frustrations about this rich society...

Loved this blog post! I feel the same way. I wish I was born in like the 30s or 40s. I know though that every generation has its problems and like you said, everything looks better 50 years ago.
